## Overview

A Field Contact gives you the ability to document a situation such as an encounter with a suspicious person. The situation is such that it does not warrant an Incident Report but you still want to document it in the event something comes of it. That way it is searchable and you see the Field Contact associations within the Master Indices section. Field Contacts are located in the Incidents menu where you can search existing or create new Field Contacts.

When completing a Field Contact, you are able to document:

| • | Notes

| • | Location

| • | People

| • | Officers

| • | Vehicles

| • | Gangs

| • | Organizations

| • | Attachments

| • | Associate existing Incidents from within the Field Contact.

| • | Create Incidents from within the Field Contact.

| • | Associate existing Calls from within the Field Contact.

An Incident Report can also be generated from the Field Contact, similar to the Field Arrest. Once the Associate Incident link is selected, you will be able to select what information should be transferred to the Incident Report.
